It's a shame I have to pay to get good games, but I run into such blatant engine usage and actual verbal abuse that the only way to avoid it is to have consequences for players when an account gets banned. Hopefully this means I run into less children, cheats and other low lives. | ||

According to some (reddit) Magnus didn't know there would be no time added after 60 moves. He was late to the game and therefore missed the arbiter's talk on the change in time control from last year's event. That just happened. | ||

Sure, but it's still very different from a "legit" 0W 2L score. | ||
